I was Here!

I have traveled many places over all my 80-plus years.

I have seen a lot of beauty here and there.

I have a lot of memories stored inside my mind,

but, I never will forget that

I was here!

As we age, we think about our youth,

and, all the things we did along the way;

We remember all our friends, and all

The fun and games we used to play.

We always filled our days with cheer.

With every memory that I make,

I will always remember,

I was here!

Seems every day we meet new folks,

And soon we have new friends.

That simply enlarges my memory bank.

I hope that never ends!

Life is too short to be angry, or to hate, or

Not like someone!

Learn to love everyone.

We are all in the same boat!

With the love in my heart, that I share everywhere,

I am happy to say,

I WAS HERE!
